Obvious genetics/evolution play a role with the races, blacks dominate most physical sports.

Care to elaborate?

Your claim "most sports are dominated by blacks" could be questioned.

And within a given sports where such dominance can be empirically demonstrated, you need to exclude sociological and cultural and environmental and food-related factors, and positively show physiological traits being the decisive factor.

Not obvious at all. Does that mean white guys are genetically disposed to be better race car drivers? Reread Skybird's last post. Just because it happens doesn't mean it's genetics, or inherent. It could just mean there's more cause to strive in that area.

To address the topic question head on:
What a stupid question! Ofc it's not wrong.
Unless of course you are racist.

I think it is more a question of what sports you are interested in when you are young or that your parents push you to go into.

For example, there are very few blacks in the NHL (although Quebeckers are omnipresent) or in the top 100 tennis players or in competitive swimming.
